Materials Science & Engineering Students Participate in the Hartford Chapter of ASM International's Materials Camp (cont.)
The Hartford chapter of ASM International recently organized the second Hartford Area Materials Camp, which took place at the IMS and in parts of EII on April 13. The half-day Materials Camps aim at introducing Materials Science and Engineering to high-school students. For this second camp 24 high-school students and six teachers from the Annual Multicultural Business Youth Educational Services Embarkment (AMBYESE), Yes I Can! Program and Hartford Public High School’s Academy of Engineering and Green Technology were exposed to a variety of hands-on Materials Science and Engineering demonstrations, for example brazing, heat-treatment, casting, or metal forming. Over twenty MSE undergraduate and graduate students volunteered for this Camp as tour-guides or assistants at the different learning stations. The overwhelmingly positive response from the attendees has motivated the ASM Hartford chapter to consider a third camp in 2010.
